Até Que Durou

In 'Até Que Durou,' TUYO delves into the emotional turmoil of unreciprocated love. The song's protagonist reflects on their efforts to make a relationship work, only to realize that their feelings were not returned. The lyrics convey a sense of deep disappointment and self-doubt, as the protagonist questions their worth and the time invested in a one-sided relationship. The repeated attempts to be 'a perfect guy' and to do things 'your way' highlight the lengths to which the protagonist went to please their partner, only to be met with indifference.

The chorus, 'Até que durou,' which translates to 'While it lasted,' encapsulates the fleeting nature of the relationship. The protagonist's plea for an explanation—'Me diz o porquê' ('Tell me why')—underscores their confusion and hurt. The realization that they were 'just another one in your hands' suggests a pattern of emotional detachment from the partner, leaving the protagonist feeling used and unimportant. The repeated line, 'Só eu senti amor' ('Only I felt love'), drives home the painful truth that their love was unreciprocated.

TUYO's poignant lyrics are complemented by a melancholic melody that enhances the song's emotional depth. The song speaks to anyone who has ever felt the sting of unreturned affection and the frustration of investing in a relationship that ultimately leads nowhere. The introspective nature of the lyrics invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences with love and loss, making 'Até Que Durou' a relatable and cathartic piece.
